Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Ricardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Fishpockets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ricardo comes to the cage accompanied by Culo. Fishpockets is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I don't know how to love him. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
